What Did You Do Today?
osage outlaw:
Today I found the thickest osage sapwood I've ever seen. It looks like 5 growth rings of sapwood. No way I'm removing all of that. I'll make some sapwood bows with heartwood handles. Splitting it off isn't an option. This is small diameter (6"-8") second growth that almost looks like it grew over a dead core in spots. There are old borer holes in the center of it. The sapwood and first bit of heartwood look clean. It has nice rings. The sapwood is pretty flexible when it's fresh. I might rough out a bow and clamp it to a reflex caul to dry.
Danzn Bar:
Wow you've got a very unusual piece of osage there sounds like a neat plan you have for it. Keep us updated.

I'd name the bow you make from it Blondie!!!
Danzn Bar:
Ed.... Blondie sounds more like a sexy singer than a bow unless Clint can pull it off............. ;)
